Toastmasters LGBT - Rainbow Toastmasters

Hello Future Unicorns!!! Welcome to the queer side of toastmaster’s, we might be gay but we still start on time🕡. Our toastmasters group is a safe space to work on your public speaking 🗣️ skills, make new friends, share stories, and hear the kiki in our community We welcome all spectrums of the rainbow 🌈 including our allies because everyone can be a Unicorn in our world. 🦄 Our members are based all around the world 🌎 so we have a strong virtual attendance even on hybrid nights. However, if you’re local or just in town we would love ❤️ to see you in-person 🧑 on our hybrid nights. *If you haven’t been to a toastmaster meeting here is a rough outline:* **Introduction –** We go over an agenda, people who have already been assigned roles give a brief description of their duties. **Speakers 👩‍💻 –** This is where the magic happens. Members give prepared speeches ranging from a first timer to a professional orientator regaling us on how he became a jeopardy champion. **Table Topics 🤷‍♂️ –** These are short impromptu speeches lasting between one to two minutes based off a provided question. Don’t worry you don’t have to give a straight answer. 💅 **Evaluation 👩‍🏫 –** In the third act evaluators review our skills, time, grammar, and filler words. We also have special event nights like XXX, Halloween, Backwards Meeting, and murder mystery night. So come join us….

Play Date

We're having a live Play Date at the Taraval Community Room! So, polish up some favorite pieces to share and get ready to play and make friends. Pieces should be about 3 minutes in length. We will go around the room with everybody getting the chance to play one piece. Then, we'll keep going around again until we run out of time. We expect that everybody will get to play 2, maybe 3, pieces.

Gaga (Handball/Dodgeball variation) & Other Lawn Games @ Alameda Gaga Court

Join us for games of **GAGA**! Gaga is similar to handball and is a low-impact, fast moving fun game that rotates players quickly, so its a great way to meet new people and keep moving! The location of the court on Alameda island is here: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/VeqmD6oz6AbAksYB8 ](https://maps.app.goo.gl/VeqmD6oz6AbAksYB8) The rules of Gaga are super simple and as follows: * *All players start with one hand touching a wall of the pit.* * *The game begins with a referee throwing the ball into the center of the pit.* * *Once the ball is in play, any player can hit the ball with an open or closed hand.* * *If a ball touches a player below the knee (even if the player hits himself or herself) they are out and they leave the pit. If a player is hit above the knees, the play continues.* * *Players cannot hold the ball* If you have any other games like spike ball, cornhole, or soccer or volleyballs, please feel free to bring them as well! We will have some additional activities set up on the sides for people to play and socialize while in between games of gaga.
